Ingredients

6 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 cup hazelnut spread
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup caramel sauce
Pinch of sea salt

How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cups

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip 3/4 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the hazelnut spread and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the melted chocolate into the cream mixture. Add a pinch of sea salt and fold gently until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Divide the mousse evenly into small serving cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Top each mousse cup with a dollop of whipped cream, a few fresh raspberries, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Ensure the chocolate is slightly cooled before mixing to avoid melting the whipped cream.
For a lighter mousse, fold the ingredients gently to maintain airiness.

Easy Variations

Substitute the hazelnut spread with almond or peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.
Add a splash of espresso or coffee liqueur to the chocolate for a mocha twist.
Top with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries instead of raspberries for a seasonal touch.

What to Serve With It

A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
Shortbread cookies for a delightful crunch.
A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
Coffee or dessert wine to complement the rich flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The mousse is best enjoyed chilled and will maintain its texture for up to a few days.
